Disney/Pixar's latest journey does not take you through the depths of the ocean, or through the galaxies in outer space. Instead it simply takes you "Up."
Carl Fredrickson (voice of Ed Asner) is a senior citizen and grieving widower who is facing eviction. With a real estate developer eyeing his property and nursing aides knocking at his door, he embarks on an adventure that he promised his beloved wife he'd take many years earlier. Carl escapes by converting his home into a makeshift hot air balloon and it's up, up and away he goes.
Carl hopes his trip is a pleasure cruise at 30,000 feet. Luckily for us, it's not. Enter Russell (voice of Jordan Nagai) a young cub scout and unfortunately, a stowaway on Carl's balloon. Add in a bunch of hilariously well trained dogs, a gigantic cuckoo bird, and an evil adventurer and it's so much for smooth sailing.
"Up" is a fun tale for the audience both young and old. An elderly man gets to live out his life's dream and in the process gets reacquainted with the best times of his life. "Up" is a truly heartwarming tale that taps into the relationship between young and old. It's a story that inspires, and more importantly, one that tells us it's never too late to accomplish your dream.
